Thanks for the comments. I did not think about how you could make a non-linear curve through colour space by using separate non-linear interpolation on each colour channel. From what I have read about this online, it seems that these two concepts are referred to separately when they are actually the same as you have shown. It certainly taught me something new! I do agree that writing the separate curves for each channel is probably not the best syntax. The gradient editor that you linked is very good and what got me interested in this in the first place. It doesn't support a truly arbitrary curve through colour space but does support straight and circular lines through multiple colour spaces including L\*a\*b\* which this proposal does not support. I think that if we want those options, we will have to wait a while until alternate colour spaces are supported in browsers outside Safari (and even Safari seems to only have limited support). As for extrapolation, I think we should try to extrapolate in the way that you described as option A where possible. The issue is what to do when the colour does not exist or goes out of the gamut. I think the best option is to just choose the closest colour that is available similar to the relative colorimetric rendering intent. If you want to do something different, it should be possible (though perhaps only reasonable for a tool) to add additional segments and set the exact cubic-bezier that you want. As a personal update: I'm still not totally sure what the actual status is on this proposal (i.e. what the next step is). I have tried looking into adding this feature to browsers directly. It seems to me that modern browsers are so complex that I can't figure out where the code is that actually deals with gradients. I'm mostly used to working on small projects. I looked at Chromium and Firefox but maybe I should look at something like Servo for a proof of concept before trying to implement it in a full browser. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Bryce-MW Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1332#issuecomment-895638432 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
